I’ve seen some very impressive 4WD Trail Rigs do some crazy things, but this is a little different. These guys are making it up the same treacherous hills in 2WD VW based Rail Buggies. The rear suspension of the VW Beetle lends itself well to offroad applications because the axle travels towards the rear of the car as the suspension compresses. That allows you to carry more speed over big bump obstacles. Combine that with having the weight of the engine over the drive wheels and you can see why Baja Bugs are so successful offroad. Take that formula one step further with a light and strong tube frame body and you have the monsters in this video. With big tires in the back where all the drive train weight is and skinny tires in the front, these cars are like the Nissan Deltawing of offroad hill climbing.
